Umberto's of Lake Grove: Authentic Pizza and Vegan Options in NY

Stopped in for a slice just because they were the closest pizza to where we were staying in Lake Grove. Now I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The pizza slices were wonderful and the staff was so friendly. You can tell from the way the restaurant is taken care of that the owners are invested in its success. My only regret is that I did not ask to see all the available slices before ordering a cheese slice. The assorted pizzas are by the front counter. Next time I’ll ask and be more adventurous in my choice.

The food and wines were incredible here! Probably one of the best pasta places I have been to till date. We arrived last night almost 15th a before their closing time. We were greeted well and were not rushed the entire time, which was great! While placing order, they served us some bread, garlic knots and butter (not great quality since the bread and knots were very hard). We started with some zucchini fries (very tasty, would appreciate if they were less oily). The marinara sauce served with the zucchini was very tasty and adequately flavored. They had options of ordering half plate pasta - which is a GREAT thing to do considering that way you can control your portions and sample more items. We ordered some Alfredo fettuccine (good), penne bolognese (tasty), penne Gamberi (loved it, so flavorful). The merlot and the dessert wine were good. The chocolate cheesecake was very good, not unnecessarily thick, appropriately sweet. Price wise it is moderate to towards high, ambience is decent. Overall I would have rated this place a 4 but the taste of the food made it a 5. Would love to try more of their dishes soon!

I can definitively say the absolute best slice of pizza I ever had which is the Grandma Alla vodka, if you like thin crisp crunch with fresh mooz and the creamiest most flavorful sauce you ever had. Go here, all the pizza is great but this slice is unmatched

Umberto's of Lake Grove is an excellent location for pizza. They provide a wide range of slice and pie options. In addition to pizza, they also feature a delightful menu for lunch or dinner, including pastas, salads, and more. The staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. There is ample seating available, and the restaurant is clean and well-maintained. Enjoy a slice.

Pizza had a great fluffy and light crispy crust with delicious sauce and a generous amount of topping. Also the people were really nice and a cozy atmosphere.

Came here to try the vegan menu and really really enjoyed my vegan grandma pizza pie!! Ate the entire thing! Can't wait to return and want to try more! July 2024 update: great vegan Margherita pizza and vegan mozzarella sticks!

There is nothing like Umberto’s. They are truly the best of the best. If you ever get a chance, try the seafood risotto, it is out of this world. The staff are wonderful and really care about you and your family, the food is incredibly delicious and the atmosphere is perfection. The only downside is that I wish they had more space for private parties to fit our big Italian family!

This is my favorite pizza place in the area. I've had the salad slices, regular and vegan... All amazing. The grilled chicken here is also perfect! It's juicy every time and has that beautiful grilled flavor AND it's toddler approved. I typically stick to these usuals but I want to try more.
